    I gave this orchid to a friend and want to make sure she cares for it properly. Not sure what kind it is or exactly how to take care of it. The vendor said water once a week and feed every other. If anyone can help i want to know the following:

    1. What kind of Orchid?
    2. Care Tips? (feeding,watering, etc..)
    3. When does it bloom and for how long?

    Thanks

    If it's in in Florida than it might be Spathoglottis plicata Orchid. That's all I know about it.

    Looks to be a Dendrobium hybrid. Fairly bright indirect light, appreciates a good watering but can dry out completely (but not when in bloom). Most flowers of this type last about 3 weeks for me.
